I always wear pants... except in the Church. Long hair gives me head ace. When you can rull your entire hair in a ponitail which thickness is about an inch or even less you really dont fele like growing long hair... beides what would you do with it... put it on pigtails when you are 60? My sister has had hair all teh way trom top to under her butt all her life.... I wonder what she will do with it when hitting 60.... in 10 years...

In the video it is even more alive.. pretty scarry...

Anybody explain plase: plausible deniability... what does it mean ???

Nothing wrong in partying and having a litle fun! Wrong is having sex before marriage... and believe me it is not fun afterwards! Wrong is to drink or use drugs to "get going" or to "get high"... and that is not usually fun after either ; Hedace, vomiting, baby on the way, smashed furniture, smashed friens or frienship... very fun indeed. It may look fun it may seem fun but in fact it is only a big fake picture. Everyone is faking... they dare to fake as they are using stuff to be able to "loosen it"! Get some good friends together and do all kinds of crazy things WITHOUT drugs or alcohol.. you can do it. You can throw a really good party without any of the stuff we are not supposed to do or have... invite only those that you know will keep the rule! Or is it that YOU WANT to do the things we are not supposed to do. THINK TWICE!

What a blessing so many young families! I just hope they can endure the pressure as today it is much more difficult to be a child from a poor family or a mother or a father that can give everything they ask to their kids. When kids start the school they want a lot more than before.... as everyone else has... (ever heard of that person.. everyone else... that must be a rich person as it has almost everything!) Yes many are afraid to have more than 6-8... If you would like less classes... you could try locking with every second week free from nursary Btw here is about the pedagogy: The Montessori Foundation

THIS is about the way I would like to have my hair: http://t0.gstatic.com/images?q=tbn:ANd9GcSPJSmzPDciAO_56_7PUxfZ1FlsRLR3onxUDMkq0PqTltx3vD4&t=1&usg=__4lFqXSQ-K0EAxnbASGOrt8-UmEM= But orange on the topp and green on sides... BRIGHT! :) There was a green one I loked better, but I am not sure if I can post the clothes in it here...

That was GREAT work Wingnut! We need to listen to the spirit and not just go acording to the books! Absolutely LOVE that! We need to look at the child, not numbers! :) 3-4 nurseries... UH you gotta be kidding! If I take all kids of that age in our stake I wonder if we get more than 5-6 nurseries! You guys have taken it seriosly to inhabit the world!

Welcome Saldrin.... more than this computer:eek: You think so! (Carefully looking suspiciously arond me). Enjoy the site.

I remember I read somewhere, or heard on Kerrys You Tube, that the Jewish were allowed to make Temples in far away places, as they could not attend the Temple in Jerusalem and their religion required attendance in the Temple evry so often, so if they were travelling or living far away they were allowed to build a Temple there. It is not right that Jerusalem had been the ONLY Temple in the world... but it sure was the MOST important one. I think 200 km or was it miles, was said to be a distance that was required. I thought that was interesting.

Anybody explain plase: plausible deniability IMHO is that the anties are just taking prpo 8 to ride on in order to make trouble to us. They see a great possibility to point out our stand calling it discriminating gay people, as in fact we do not discriminate them we just dont approve what they are doing. Just like parents dont always approve what kids are doing, but they stil love them. I heard that gays themselves are mostly very quiet people and most making a noice in this are anties.

Hi welcome. Kids with Asperger are just great kids. I hope you will enjoy the forum otherways too. I had one in my class. She would not talk to anyone stranger and started to talk to me after a while. Clever kid was the best reader in the class and helped me to teach the otherkids letters and stuff.

Thanks Zippy. I have not been in primary now for a couple of years but thanks for the netsite. I remember I was missing one when in primary. About the water... you can also use rice to pour instead of water... or something that flows easy. It IS a LOT of work to begin with to make kids understand that they are not supposed to eat, to mess with the rice/water... but they DO learn it. You just have to be alart ALL the time so you can stop such behaviour. It is a great joy to see a child VERY much in to doing one of those things... the world could fall apart around them and they had not noticed. Like the little boy... I just had to make sure NO ONEnot even the little sister could go and disturb him when he worked and he would "work" with the "toys" for a very long time... especially when thinking that he did have ants in his pants Btw the method I used is montessori pedagogy. There are books about use of montessoripedagogy at home too. Every time the leader in the childrensroom denied the use of my "toys" we were back in the caotic noicy and messy surroundings where all toys ar just thrown around adn left ther til it is time to gather them. Best use of thsi method has been when I needed to calm down a nursary in a little room with all too many kids in it ... I think we had some 12 kids and only one was 3. The ward was delt right after that. That room was very small to such many kids, but we did nto need to do more than at most 2 steps between the shelf and the table so one of us in time was positioned by the shelf helping kids to get stuff from the shelfs and putting them back and seeing that they manage to carry them to the table. As teh other one was working with the tables seeing that the kids did not mess with them or disturb others and talked with them. Also I had once a boy that did not want to come in the childrensroom, he become the best kid ever in my childrensroom. Even though I knew what the primary leader tought of my "toys" I stil tok them in use and got this boy running into the childrensroom as he just loved them. Before it was like holding him all the time trying to hinder him to run out of the room. Well the leader saw the things ther after a while and told me to get rid of them and have usual toys to the kids. The boy started the same crying and trying to run away... untill I tok some of the stuff back. He loved the pouring of water and rice and putting the rice from one bowl to an other with a spoon and the colour things. I was taken to other tasks in the church and the boy continued to have his troubles again. That time there was only some 4-6 kids in the childrensroom. I think we are stil working with the old handbook, orange I think it is. It does have picture arks adn somethig you can print out. But They have had that already some 5 years I think. In Primary with 6-7 year olds I looked trough the handbook and was thinking what I coud do with these smart kids I had had since they came to the childrensroom as they already knew it all. A VERY good class... but as they knew it all they got bothered easy... needed to do it an other way to keep the interest. That was almost Christmas time adn all fall had ben apain to find out how to keep their interest. So I decided to do something extraordinary. Our main task become to make the armour of God. Each week we worked with the armour after I had told them the lesson which I in a way or an other tied to the armour. So we made the headpeace to protect our toughts and to reflect the bad toughts out of our heads, the sword of justice ... you know the whole armour as it is written in the scriptures we also practiced the words and as a claspreformance we told everyone all parts of the Gods armour and asked them to put on theirs so we can fight a good fight her on earth... something like that... needless to tell you I only had one girl in that group. Guys just loved it. It was one of my favorites. All those kids are stil active in church. Imagination and quidance from Holy Spirit are needed besides knowing what you teach. I believe you do not need to slaverly follow the instruction books, but you can use other stories, other methods together with some of the stories from teh book. Personal stories are MUCH better than the ones some far a way person has experienced. Anyway I think the most important thing is to teach kids to love attending the church, but it should not be done by allowing them to do what ever they want but quide them to the right way of behaviour ... in a kind of sneeky way. I ahve developed ( in my head) a similar primary room in montessori style, wher ther are a LOT of different beatiful "toys" around in shelfs that teach the kids all about the gospel and it teaches them with different levels of difficulty so it can be used by kids from 1 to 12. And like in montessori schools kids can themselves decide what lesson they want to do that day. Teachers should be able to teach all lessons anytime. Lessons are short and have tasks. as all kids put their minds in the task they ahve found the teacher is free to teach new short lessons to one kid at the time. Also the biggest kids can teach the smaller ones. When the lessons are made interesting to the kids there wil not be any noice problems either. The biggest could even play the computer scripture games.... this all is very individual an probably should be delt to younger and older kids as the primary now is dealt anyway. This way a kid that is sick never misses a certain lesson but the teacher sees to it tha the kid does at least once every task needed for that age group to be done. Some kids do older kids stuff and some go back doing some stuff they really liked over and over again. As the kids are interested they also learn. Beeing able to work where they will even on the floor and moveing a bit around also helps the kids to like what they do. I think I have written about it her too earlier a long thing.... Enjoy the work with the kids.

I have short hair. My DH dont like it, he likes long hair. I think long hair is too much trouble, it takes for ever to dry and I love to swim in the summer and I even use the shower sometimes (at least once a day as I go to gym). Besides my hair is stright = ugly when long and it is getting gray ... if it would be curly or really wavy and thick I would keep it long... but YACK stright thin long hair UH!

I have been in a primary a lot and even more in the chirldrensroom. I been teaching extra active kids and those quiet ones and the ones that cry as they have to come to the childrens room for half a year and then change and cry as they should home or to the meeting. First I had a tree with birds (or something similar with the idea).. every kid had their bird that they tok from the nest and put on the branches as they came (usually with a parent)and when they left they put it back in the nest. Then I had just puzles and books on two tables where kids could sit and look or play with them til at 10 sharp we had a song and a prayer (or when ever..). Then the kids were allowed to get anything they wanted to play with from the shelves... and they were not usual toys... they tok them to the tables if they were a thing to do at the tables or to the floor if it was a floor thing. There was also usual toys like lego or something like that maybe a doll, a car. We adults had to be helping kids to get the things from the shelves and to et them back on the shelf... a LOT of work but worth it. The special "toys" also help kids to consentrate and teach them things. Then I gathered everyone to a lesson. Short something that needed usually kids involment... at least the active ones. Then we had an activity, play do or drawing or something from the lesson. We sang and then ate and then if there was time, red books and puzzles again, maybe lego, before we gathered to the finnishing prayer. The "toys": Two smal jugs on a smal tray (Glas or china! YES be careful kids!) with a little bit of water... teach the kids first one at the time how to pour from one to an other and back again. Always hold the jug with two hands supporting it with the other while the other held the handle to poor. If the child did something else he/she did not want to play with it any more so tell the child to take it back and find somethign else to do. Alow the child poor always play as long as they want to if possible and the thing shopuld be returned to the shelf NOT just give to teh next child as returning it to the shelf means the kid is ready with it and can not demand it back. A smal bowl with rice in it and an other bowl that is empty ona a tray and a spoon. You show how to take rice from one bowl to an other... let the kid continue... tray si to show how clever the kid is ... no mess clever kid! Again if the kid starts to eat the rice or something the child probably do not want to play with it any more. As many small bowls as you have different color cotton balls (or something) in a bigger bowl; kids take teh balls with fingers and put same colour in same bowl... separates teh colours. Can also be done with different macaronis, pasta or what ever, colours or shapes (got the idea?). Also can use ping pong balls and icecream scoop or smaller stuff and .. what you call those you nip hairs with... One of my best equipments was two bowls and in one of them different colour pearls and a tooth pic. I showed the extra active boy to pick one pearl at the time them from one bowl to an other... he sat there 30 min++ and did that It was first time he sat longer than 2 seconds in one place... after that he slowly bagan to be able to sit quietly on lessons. This is a thing that I set high up on the shelf as it was only for the older ones. All you have to do is to see that the kids do not bother one an other but allow others play in peace. Also we had a kind of paperdoll that we could put clothes on. We had a tray with a few grog glasses... hmmm... and dropper(s) one for each colour red, blue and yellow... then the kids could drop different colours to empty glasses, or just try to drop a drop in a glass or on a soapholder made of smal rubber bowls, that hold excactly one drop. Always show the kid at least once and a few times in a row how to do what ever it is... then let the kid do it. Rather have the kid on your left side if you are righthanded. Quiet books are also great to have and work with. Washing the table or chairs is also a great activity, kids love to use a nailbrush to brush tables with. The teacher can show how to wrind the cloth and give the ready wride cloth to the kid but no water (dang) I hope you get some good ideas from this. The "toys" can also be used with 3-5 year olds even older ones... the idea of the "toys" is the most important you can find more of suitable toys to your group as you know what they need and like. Use your imagination. These "toys" help kids to calm down, especially if they may play with them without having to stop in the middle of the fun. Kids have a lot of toys at home this is a bit different and educational and interesting. Good luck.

You are a fantastic mother. I think so many mothers just want to see their kids with same aged kids instead of thinking where they belong intellectually. And the sckoling ... primary... systen should allow kids moved according to their intellect, in stead of the age. All kid develope in their own speed adn who knows your son might ... with right level education now catch on to his own age in a year or so. But if he is with older kids he dont understand anything and may even develope to a disturber, or just cut the world out and go in his own world. I hope she can understand that yopu know best! Good luck!
